Mudgee BRANCH
Western NSW Region
Assisting our community, locally…
ABOUT US
Can Assist Mudgee was formed in 2008. Based in the small rural town of Mudgee in country NSW, the branch supports cancer patients who reside within Mudgee and other satellite towns in the local area.
We are a community orientated committee who have helped numerous patients needing support at a time when expenses can be overwhelming.
Areas Serviced: Bylong, Cooks Gap, Cooyal, Goolma, Gulgong, Hargraves, Hill End, Ilford, Kandos, Lue, Mudgee, Running Stream, Rylstone, Ulan, Windeyer, Wollar
Financial Assistance
We understand that families struggle to cope with a reduced income as a result of a cancer diagnosis and that they face increased expenses from travel, accommodation and medical costs.

Our Branch would not exist without our members, volunteers and supporters both from within the community and further afield. We thank them for their contribution.
